Fig. 6From: Genome-wide identification of microRNAs in pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) by high-throughput sequencingStem-loop RT-qPCR validation of highly expressed known miRNAs and their variants in different tissues. Relative quantity is based on the expression of the reference gene 5.8 s ribosomal RNA. X-axis indicates different tissues and Y-axis the expression of miRNA relative to that in leaf tissue. Data are mean ± SD from three biological replicates. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 by Student t test. Bar values higher or lower compared to leaf tissue indicates upregulation or downregulation, respectivelyBack to article page
